  Abstract: Vaccines rely on the acquired immune system and prime an animal to a particular antigen so that on subsequent encounter; it is recognized and quickly destroyed. The vast majority of pathogens enter the body via the mucosal surfaces of the gastrointestinal, respiratory, and urogenital tracts, where they initiate mucosal infections that lead to systemic infections. There is strong evidence that an optimum mucosal immune response can prevent systemic infection and …

  Mucosal Defense Mechanism in Fish: An Overview

  By Supriya Dash, Jayashree Nanda, Soumyashree Barik, B. P. Rath

  Abstract: Mucosal surfaces are important physical barriers whose main function is to protect the systemic environment of the body against microbial invasion. It is the first line of defense to protect the animal and also functioning as an active immune tissue. Four mucosal-associated lymphoid tissues (MALTs), which start the immune responses are skin, gills, gut, and nose, have been reported in fish. Humoral and cellular immunity, their regulation and the factors …
